From The World of Yesterday Night

I wrote this on my laptop last night. And I won't be checking my emails for a while. No time recently. Anyway, here you go-

I am writing to you, once again, from a Word document on my laptop. I’m trying to distract myself from something.

ODog’s party a few days ago. Fancy dress scavenger hunt. I went as a lady bug. Of course me and the rest of the girls who went managed to get an attempt to pick us up made by several guys we don’t know. I was umming and ahhing over whether to accept their kind offer or not when one of them said that they had a double bed at home, but decided against it. lol. (KIDDING btw. Never in a million years)

Anyway, the scavenger hunt took place on a very busy street, so we did get a few odd looks, but that just made it soooo much more fun. Anyway, it was definitely in the top three best parties ever.

Two new obsessions recently-
Eoin (pronounced ‘Owen’ btw) Colfer books. He wrote the Artemis Fowl series which I was, and still am obsessed with. But in the hols I read ‘The Wish List’, ‘The Supernaturalist’ and ‘Half Moon Investigations’, which are also by Eoin. You cannot call yourself a bookworm unless you’ve read something by Eoin Colfer. Well, you can but anyway…. If you have not read anything by Eoin Colfer, you have to. The Artemis Fowl series is a fantasy mixed with action and mystery. They’re my favourite so far. And then there is The Wish List. It’s about this chick that is killed and then is half good and half bad so she has to go back to Earth as a ghost thing to help this old man with stuff he wants to do before he dies so that she can get some more good points and go to heaven. It isn’t focused on religious stuff, and its got a really good plot and I loved it. Half Moon Investigations is a detective one. The plot is a bit too complicated to explain, but it’s still awesome. A little heartbreaking at the end, but the epilogue is happy. The Supernaturalists is awesome. No-sponsors (the future equivalent of orphans), action, betrayal, a little romance, weird blue creatures which are thought to be bad but actually turn out to be goodies. It has got everything. Like Half Moon Investigations, it’s sad at the end, but a little of the romance puts it in a better mood.
My other obsession is bike riding. I go around some paths that I haven’t been down for a while and I am re-learning them. Some excellent scenery. There is this spot just perfect for a picnic. We had our Year Six fun day there. Water bomb fights and stuff. lol. This really nerdy kid, I forget how to spell his name, I’ll just call him Walter, anyway, Walter, because he had some weird need to be different, instead of using normal balloon water bombs in the fight, had made a whole stack of origami water bombs. ORAGAMI! They were pretty strong though coz they didn’t fall apart when he filled them up. But still. ORAGAMI?!

I also saw one of my really good primary school friend recently, Stella. I went over to her house a few days ago. She was one of my besties in primary and even though we go for months without seeing each other, when we do eventually meet up we still have soooooo much fun. It’s just like we see each other every day, coz our friendship is still a strong as it ever was.

I was at the library today (surprise, surprise) and one of the librarians (I’m pretty sure most of them somehow know me, one way or another) saw me reading Twilight (and before you pass judgement, it isn’t actually that bad once you get into it) and she was wondering if I had any ideas on something they had been struggling with. They wanted to have a Twilight promotional thing, coz they wanted a way to get more teenagers into the library. One of the other libraries had a Twilight ball, and they got more teenagers from then on. So, if anyone out there has any ideas at all, please help me out! I was thinking maybe a dress-up movie night or something. But, as you are probably all aware, my brain doesn’t really work that well in the hols, so I need some help.

Going to go now. A show I really want to watch is coming on.

Luv ya :D
